Configuration

Setting the countries to block

You must set the $ISO var with the ISO code of the countries you want to deny. You can add multiple countries with space separator: ISO="ng ru"

Setting your server paths

You must change the next vars if they are not right in your server:

WGET=/usr/bin/wget
EGREP=/bin/egrep
OUTPUTFILE=/etc/nginx/blockips.conf
NGINXSERVICE=/etc/init.d/nginx

Modifying your nginx configuration file

Open your nginx configuration file vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Add the next into the http section: include /etc/nginx/blockips.conf;

Be careful with your server paths. It is important your included file is the same as the OUTPUTFILE configuration var.

(Optional) Create a cronjob

In order to keep update the ip list, you should create a cronjob to refresh the list every day. 0 1 * * * /path/to/country.block.sh
